I don't know. Tonight felt weird. Yes, DA was consistent and gave exactly what American Idol's producers were looking for - a cookie cutter image of the perfect American Idol. Then there's my boy, David Cook. Cook was the opposite. He's geniune, he's real, he's a real rock performer, he sings, he plays guitar, he writes songs, he changes things up...he wants to do things HIS way. Then is he right for American Idol? Personally I've felt that it was better for him not to win American Idol in order for him to retain who he is. Tonight's performances showed he is. A real performer who won't let a stupid TV show get in the way of his real self. He took chances tonight and for that, I have to thank him.
The first song he couldn't really do much about. And for the second song, he took what could have been your stereotypical touchy feely mooshy ballad and rocked it out, DC style. The third song he took a leap and sang a song he hadn't before. It was a beautiful performance that left his heart and emotions out there for us to experience.
There's that part, then there's the part of me who thinks he should win. I wish I could ask David what he really wants to do. I know in my heart that win or lose, he will be the most succesful AI graduate ever. I can't wait to see what's next for David Cook.
